    Study Notes

    • Check cable for damage, especially for VGA and its individual pins.
    • Distorted or incorrect display geometry may be resolved by adjusting operating system settings, including refresh rates and resolutions.
    • Native resolution of the monitor matches physical display configuration for sharpest picture.
    • Incompatible resolution settings may result in larger, blocky letters.
    • Burn-in or image sticking can occur on displays and may be prevented or corrected by pixel-shift technology or displaying a white screen for an extended period.
    • Dead pixels, which are completely black and unresponsive to any color, cannot be fixed and require monitor replacement.
    • Flickering images are often caused by loose cables and can be resolved by reseating or replacing the cable.
    • Configuration mismatches between monitor capabilities and video driver settings can cause incorrect color output.
    • Monitor tint or custom color presets can be adjusted to correct incorrect color mix on the screen.
